CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Robinson: Rose doesn't belong in Hall of Fame C. Trent Rosecrans Frank Robinson was Pete Rose's teammate with the Reds for three seasons, but the two-time Most Valuable Player doesn't want Rose to be his teammate in the Hall of Fame. For the 40th anniversary of Robinson becoming the first African-American hired as a manager in Major League Baseball history, ESPN interviewed Robinson for Sunday's "Outside the Lines." According to a release from the network, Robinson was asked about several topics, including Rose. When asked by Jeremy Schaap what baseball should do with Rose, Robinson answered: "Nothing. Lifetime ban means lifetime. Pete Rose broke a sacred rule in baseball by gambling on baseball and gambling on his own team. And one time I remember hearing him say that he wasn't aware of that rule, rule 21. It's right plastered in the clubhouse of every major league team, minor league team." Robinson also had a similar stance on Barry Bonds and Alex Rodriguez for their suspected drug use. When asked who is baseball's all-time home run king, Robinson said, "Hank Aaron. I don't think Hank Aaron had any help. He did it naturally. And I really don't think that Barry Bonds did it naturally. I can't sit here and say I have proof. I don't. But I have eyes.

In his 15th year of consideration from the Baseball Writers Association of America, the longtime Tiger legend once again fell short of the 75% needed for induction to Cooperstown, earning 40.9% of the vote. “It’s flattering and honoring just to be talked about it,” Trammell said recently. “And I know that as a player, I could hold my own.” Two players were inducted by the writers this evening: Centerfielder Ken Griffey, Jr., with 99.3% of the vote and catcher Mike Piazza, with 83%. Tigers manager Brad Ausmus did not receive a vote. Trammell, 57, was a career .285 hitter in 20 major league seasons – all in Detroit.
